How do I list files publicly shared by me using google drive API?

Question

The quickstart code on https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/quickstart/python lists 10 files from my Google Drive.

What should I do so that it lists only the files that I have publicly shared? Is there any parameter for that purpose?

Answer 1

Files.list has a 'q' property where you can filter search results. Following the Search for Files and Team Drives guide, you can use the 'visibility' filter:

visibility (string)

= , ' != ' The visibility level of the file.

Valid values are anyoneCanFind , anyoneWithLink , domainCanFind , domainWithLink , and limited .
